6) Threshold the image with
a threshold slider. Make all particles RED.

a) CLUT /
threshold slider, if a threshold slider is not already there.

7) Blob the image

a) TOOLS
/ blob

b) Set minimum area
and whether or not to include blobs that touch the
edge of the field of view. min area!, edge?

c) Blob the image:
Blob / BLOB

d) Select statistics
if desired. 'stats / set stats'.

e) To examine the
blob outlines without the labels,

i) Zoom the
image if desired.

ii) g! or R!
to get rid of whatever drawing is there

iii) P! to show
the perimeters. L! to show the labels,
'Draw / Outlines ' for perimeters all in green.

f) To save the image
with the outlines, do a print screen: <control>PrintScreen
(on the keyboard, not in Lispix), or <alt>PrintScreen.
This puts the image of your entire desktop
into the clipboard, as if you somehow had
pasted it. then in Photoshop:

1) 'File / new',
and click OK - the default image size is what
is in the clipboard.

2) 'File / Paste'
- see image. Crop if desired.

8) Save blobbed outlines
to file.

'Blob / save
to file'.

To save stats for individual
file:

1) 'Stats / table'.
See new window with stuff in it.

2) Select window, cut
and paste to text or Excel file.

To save stats
for all image files in a folder:

1) Blob and save outlines
for all files individually. Unless the
images are very uniform, each will require special
treatment - different threshold, different degree of flattening,
etc.

2) Make sure the stats in
the BLOB window are what you want.

'stats / set
stats'

3) 'TOOLS / process folder
/ Files in folder / Blob stats to file'

Will write a file
to the write directory as <date>-stats.txt
with the file name, blob index, and the statistics in separate
collumns, for one image after another.
